Execution of Justice
Author: Patrick DentPublisher: Dent PublishingISBN: 14116-3747-XThe following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN: Click to view Shelly's reviewsThis book starts out, I believe, on a complicated footing. There are three separate subplots with three separate main characters. This causes the story line to be somewhat convoluted. It would have been better to tell the story in first person from the POV of each character. It would have made it easier to read.The writing is...

Offshore
Author: L Don CoracePublishers: Emerald Ink PublishingISBN 0-9760426-0-6The following review was contributed by SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN: Click to view Shelly's reviews.The genre of this book is “intelligent thriller”. It is not of the NewPulp variety in which I write—meaning there are no sex scenes. This book taught me things I didn’t know. That’s what I liked about it. I learned about the oil business, offshore drilling and how Texas corporate tycoons battle in the courts and elsewhere...

H. P. Lovecraft Tales
Edited: Peter StraubPublishers: Library of AmericaISBN 1-9310827-2-3The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews. Lovecraft has been called the “20th century horror story’s dark and baroque prince”. He wrote his stories from around 1920-1930. His stories are creepy but he is considered (excepting Poe) to be the creator of a new ge

Game Face
Author: James D. Chlovechok, M.D.Cambridge PublishingISBN 0-9760820-0-4The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews. You would think that with the title page, the author’s sports medical background, the cover showing pills, and the plugs on the cover and back that this would be a novel about the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports. Wrong. It is not until page 210 before you get to what you were made to...

The Ghosts of Vietnam
Author: Jim StewartPublisher: IuniverseISBN: 0-595-36282-6The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews.This book is an honest self-published memoir. One would think from the title that it is a story about a gung ho fighter who is going to tell us about his heroics during the war. Then he gets back to the U.S., meets the Anti-War Movement and starts the PTSD screw up (drugs, booze, sex, rock and roll and divorces). Also, there is the...

90-Day Wonder—Darkness Remembered
Author: Leon CooperPublisher: 1st Books LibraryISBN: 1-4107-2875-7 The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews.This is a gem of a book, especially if you are interested in what war is all about. This is the memoir of a WWII naval officer out of the 90-day wonder school. He would never make it to the gentleman status of the Annapolis and West Point officers.War is brutal and the book leaves nothing to the imagination. Sometimes those...

Caesar's Messiah--The Roman Conspiracy To Invent Jesus
Author: Atwill, JosephPublisher: Ulysses PressISBN: 1-56975-457-8 The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews.Jesus never existed. If true, what does that do? It means that the Jewish Messiah is yet to come. I like that. And I really liked Atwill's book, which I read in its first version: "The Roman Origin of Christianity." I also met Mr. Atwill at a Book Expo convention. He is a mild and patient man, who has had the...

The Root Of All Evil: The Almighty $ Some Pray For It...Others Pray To It
Author: Joylynn M. JosselISBN 0-9706726-9-1The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews. I liked it. I shouldn’t have, but I did. I shouldn’t have liked it because I’m white, a man, and old. The author is a black woman, probably young, who speaks in a lingo (black street talk) that I don’t completely understand. But I sure understood the explicit sex talk and graphic sex scenes. The three women friends in this book...

Comes A Horseman
Author: Robert LiparuloPublisher: Westbow PressISBN:0-7852-6176-1The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN: Click to view Shelly's reviews.This book almost qualifies as NewPulp fiction, the requirements of which are related at www.newpulp.net . It doesn’t have any sex and it is too long and complex. But with these and other shortcomings, it is still a good, exciting and worthwhile book in the action/suspense genre.The complex plot revolves around two rogue FBI...

Wicked Sexy Tales Of Legendary Lovers
Editor: Mitzi SecretoPublisher: Cleis PressISBN 1-57344-206-2The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews. The title is intriguing, although slightly misleading. This book is a compilation of short stories. They are not about the actual sex lives of the famous. They are fictional versions of how those, such as: Lincoln (who fears that the Whitehouse guards will see them, which is something that Mary Lincoln greatly enjoys),...

Double Forte
Author: Aaron Paul LazarPublisher: PublishAmericaISB:N 1-4137-2838-3The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews. Aaron Paul Lazar’s first published effort has produced a nice mystery book, which will be a series. His alter ego, Gus Legarde, is a music professor in the Rochester, NY area. He is a nice man, who loves to play piano, listen to opera, cook, garden, scratch his animals’ ears, and play with his little...

F.I.A.S.C.O.—Blood In The Water On Wall Street
Author: Frank PartnoyPublisher: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc.ISBN 0-393-04622-2 The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews.The title is a play on words or in this case, a play on letters. F.I.A.S.C.O. really are initials that represent: “Fixed Income Annual Sporting Clays Outing.” It is a poor theme on which to base the book. It’s an affair held by Morgan Stanley Investment Company (“MS”). The title is a little too cute. It would...

The Double Exodus Theory
Author: Steve BrockPubliszher: TurnKey PressISBN 0-9754803-0-8The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews This is a book written for professional Bible scholars. For lay people or amateur scholars, it is a load to read. It is also in a strange 8 ½ by 11 layout, more like a children’s coloring book. Not a proper format for what is really a textbook.

Obsessed
Author: Ted DekkerPublisher: WestBow PressISBN: 0-8499-4373-6The following review was contributed by: SHELDON (SHELLY) WAXMAN & click to view Shelly's reviews. The thriller/suspense/mystery (or as they call Dan Brown’s DaVinci Code—“intelligent thrillers”) genre absolutely requires that the premise be rational, realistic, and believable; that one learn something from it; and that it have a chase theme. I have been writing in the genre; so I may be hypercritical. But I think...
